This trick is widely used by housewives who need to quickly iron creased clothes. On many occasions, we even have to be careful with the temperature of the ironing board before placing it on the garment, as we can burn it.
Fortunately, below we bring you a foolproof home trick that will allow you to iron a shirt in a matter of seconds without running the risk of burning it.
How to iron a shirt quickly?
The trick is to wrap the base of the iron with aluminum foil. Once it has been smoothed out and is free of imperfections, you can turn it on and pass it over the wrinkled garment.
This trick is not only fast, but it also removes wrinkles better (compared to ironing alone).
The effect that the aluminum foil has on ironing is that it makes the wrinkles disappear in less time as it receives heat on both sides, so it won’t be necessary to turn them over.
If you don’t want to put the aluminum foil on the iron, you can choose to cover the surface of the ironing board. You will use up twice as much aluminum foil, but the effect is the same.
Which side of the aluminum foil is used on food?
The shiny side of the aluminum foil is used to keep food warm, so it is best to use that side, for example, to put a potato in the oven or various vegetables that you want to prevent from burning by the direct heat in the oven or on the grill.
“If you do it the other way round, with the shiny side facing out, the material will reflect the heat from the oven and the food will take much longer to cook,” says Instagram user @aly_deco_home.
